The twisted sponge Telasling with interwoven X-ray detec- table thread Telatrast for more safety in the operating theatre
HARTMANN develops an interwoven X-ray detectable thread called Telatrast and starts putting it in all swabs and sponges for use in operating rooms. The beauty of Telatrast is that it allows the surgeon to back up standard counting procedures with X-ray monitoring to see whether any dressings were left in the wound after an operation.
